AUGUSTA, GA – The Peach Belt Conference has announced the 2018 Hall of Fame Class. Eight former student-athletes and coaches will be inducted on May 29, 2018, at the PBC Awards Dinner in Hilton Head, S.C. The 2018 class is the second Hall of Fame class for the league.

“With the induction of this second class, you can really get a sense of the deep tradition we have established in the conference,” said PBC commissioner David Brunk. “These are some of the most accomplished and decorated student-athletes and coaches that have ever played in NCAA Division II and it is a tremendous honor for us to be able to bestow this recognition on them.”

The eight inductees will join the inaugural class of 25 inducted in 2016 as part of the league's 25th Anniversary celebration. There are now 33 PBC Hall of Famers - 20 former student-athletes and 13 coaches and administrators.
